GU-Q debating union members.

In a "clean sweep" of the country’s college-level debate circuit, Qatar Foundation (QF) partner Georgetown University in Qatar’s (GU-Q) student debate team has been crowned the winner of both the Qatar Universities Debate League (QUDL) and Qatar Universities Nationals Debate Tournament for the 2020-2021 season, as well as clinching the Best Speaker Award at both events and several other awards. QatarDebate, a member of QF, organises a series of league events and a national championship tournament for university students, who compete with each other throughout the year for the chance to win the league title and the national championship title. At the Qatar Universities Debate League spread across four tournaments, the GU-Q debate team was cumulatively ranked the highest and won the league as a whole. The team also clinched victory at the Nationals tournament that followed, GU-Q said in a statement. Out of the three teams in the finals, three represented GU-Q.
